Industry Reviews

"The book is such a rich banquet of food for thought that you need to put it down regularly to contemplate and digest each tasty morsel. It would be a great book to use as the basis for a study group, and I would love to see a companion volume of the teachings extracted from the narrative. Highly recommended!" --Miriam Knight, New Consciousness Review

"In Bowl of Light, Wesselman composes a masterpiece, sharing Makua's profound talk-story--the indigenous way of imparting wisdom--as the oral tradition is effectively transmitted into the written word. The book is essential for any world wisdom collection and for those on a spiritual path to discover the soul's true heritage, from "the last living holder of this knowledge." --Bobbye Middendorf, ForeWord Reviews
